Summer Kiss

Chapter 191 Reimbursement
Fu Xicheng really wanted to pull Jiang Yuning into his arms and forcefully make her solve his problem.

But upon further reflection, he realized he couldn't afford to lose his temper like that.

"Then you should rest well, close your eyes, and don't fall asleep in the afternoon."

Jiang Yuning made an OK sign and whispered, "I'm hanging up now. My sweet baby, you must take good care of yourself."

Fu Xicheng hung up the video call and chuckled to himself. This Jiang Yuning was getting better and better at flirting with him.

She calls him "Baby," but he prefers her to call him that in bed from now on.

When Xu Yansheng walked in, he found Fu Xicheng sitting alone on the bed, grinning foolishly.

He noticed that all the buttons on his shirt were undone. He glanced at the room temperature and asked suspiciously, "Fu Xicheng, are you that hot? Isn't the air conditioning on in the room?"

Fu Xicheng didn't notice when Xu Yansheng walked in. He waved to him and said, "You've come at just the right time. Come and help me change my dressing."

Xu Yansheng walked over and deftly unwrapped the gauze wrapped around his chest.

He casually remarked, "I don't know why, but Fu Tian has suddenly quieted down these past few days."

"Wouldn't it be better to just stop fighting? It's tiring for him, and it's tiring for me too."

Xu Yansheng had a feeling that something was off; he felt that Fu Tian was holding back some big move.

He doesn't seem like the type to stay still.

"Fu Xicheng, could Fu Tian be plotting something in secret?"

Fu Xicheng doesn't want to worry about Fu Tian right now. His only wish is to recover his health as soon as possible so that he can see Jiang Yuning.

"Ignore him and focus on your own work. Did you investigate that chef's background as I asked?"

Xu Yansheng: "..."

Can he say he's forgotten about it?

He coughed lightly twice, his eyes darting around. "We've only investigated a small part, but I think if we want to recruit him, we need to thoroughly investigate his background."

Fu Xicheng didn't notice Xu Yansheng's evasive gaze; he kept his head down, buttoning his shirt.

"Then let's continue the investigation."

Xu Yansheng nodded. He would send someone to investigate today, otherwise he would be too busy to remember.

"What do you want to do about Fu Tian?"

Fu Xicheng wants to let him continue jumping around for a few more days until his injuries are almost healed, then he'll give him a good beating.

After all, falling from the peak to the bottom is an absolutely unbearable experience.

"Check his company's accounts first to see if there are any problems. Other things can be put aside for now."

Xu Yansheng took out his phone and jotted down some things he needed to do next on a sticky note.

He rubbed his temples, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Fu Xicheng, when are you going to let He Sili come back from abroad? I'm getting tired of you calling me every day like this."

Fu Xicheng hadn't expected Xu Yansheng to bring this up. He chuckled and teased, "You're getting paid a salary every month, aren't you tired?"

Xu Yansheng sighed. It wasn't about money; it was that he wanted to enjoy life.

Human nature is too complex. Sometimes thoughts change in an instant, and you don't even know what you're thinking next.

"Sigh, who wouldn't want to sit behind the scenes as the boss and just give orders to others?"

Fu Xicheng tapped his knee, guessing that He Sili had almost finished handling that matter abroad.

The project was already wrapping up a few days ago, but I don't know how it is going now.

Fu Xicheng tilted his head slightly, "Let's talk about it in a few days. I asked He Sili a few days ago, and he's almost finished with his business."

Xu Yansheng closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. "It's time for me to go abroad and enjoy life."

Traveling abroad?
That’s a good suggestion.

When Jiang Yuning takes her vacation, he can take her abroad to relax. After all, feelings can change in different places.

Fu Xicheng remained silent for a while before saying, "Considering how hard you've been working lately, I'll reimburse you for your overseas travel expenses."

Xu Yansheng blinked in surprise. Was he sure he hadn't misheard?

Fu Xicheng actually offered to reimburse him.

The sun may really be rising in the west.

He said half-jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that Miss Jiang will find out and say you're a spendthrift?"

Fu Xicheng smiled faintly. This wasn't the first or second time he had squandered money. Moreover, he never did so in front of Jiang Yuning.

“If you don’t tell her, she won’t know, and besides, she doesn’t know how much money is in my secret stash.”

Xu Yansheng raised his eyebrows. After a while, he would be able to travel abroad without spending a penny. He would enjoy the feeling of buying something for free for the first time in his life, and this feeling seemed pretty good.

Xu Yansheng said, "Thanks."

……

When Jiang Yuning returned to the office, she found that some people had not yet taken their lunch break and were playing on their phones with their heads down.

She returned to her seat, grabbed a cushion, and lay down on the table, preparing to close her eyes and rest for a while.

Before long, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. In her dream, she seemed to be dreaming about Fu Xicheng.

Fu Xicheng had just come out of the bathroom when he guided her hands to take off his clothes.

She was dazzled by his top-notch physique.

Then, the scene took a turn, with the image becoming pixelated, seemingly depicting something indescribable.

The more Jiang Yuning wanted to see these restricted images, the less she could watch them, because she found the images becoming increasingly blurry.

Suddenly, she heard the alarm clock ring, and she abruptly opened her eyes.

She turned off the alarm and realized she had three minutes left before work.

She touched her face; it felt hot.

It's all Fu Xicheng's fault. If he hadn't video-called her at noon, she wouldn't have had that dream.

She pinched her brow, and when she opened her eyes again, she had regained her composure.

She saw Meng Shuyu enter the office, carrying a small cake in her hand, which suggested that she and Xie Linzhou got along well.

She took a sip of hot water, glanced at her phone, and found no WeChat messages. She then turned back to her work.

Meng Shuyu sat down in her seat and quietly sent a message to Jiang Yuning, telling her it was a misunderstanding.

Fortunately, she asked Xie Linzhou, otherwise there would have been another misunderstanding between them.

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Yuning sent Meng Shuyu an emoji.

Just then, an email popped up in Jiang Yuning's inbox. She opened it and chuckled softly.

She landed another client, and thinking about her salary for the month, she could save a small portion of it into her personal savings account.

She organized the client's information, took the information, and drove to the client's company.

Guided by her assistant, she went to a conference room to wait.

She had barely sat down when a man suddenly entered the conference room.

Jiang Yuning heard footsteps and assumed that a client had arrived in the conference room.

To her surprise, when she looked up, she saw someone she never expected.

It's the last day of 2024. Wishing everyone a happy new year! I'm so happy to have met you all, my lovely readers, in these past few months. I'm so blessed!
